My initial reaction was to put these into my bkl/vfs tree, but then I noticed
that they are against a 2.6.36 bug. Who's taking care of getting them upstream?

- Ian (maintainer)
- Arnd (who wrote the broken patch to start with)
- Frederic (who pushed the broken patch to Linus)
- Andrew (took them into -mm)

I don't care either way, just trying to make sure it gets there and we don't
all submit the same patch simultaneously.

The current state is annoying but harmless, so I could also just add the
patches to my 2.6.37 queue, which already has autofs patches for the BKL.
